I normally don't post comments but I think I have too here. As someone who was shooting all kinds of firearms long before I heard of airsoft, this group will not touch us with a 10 foot pole. To responsable firearm users we are everything they strived to distance themselves from. Nothing makes the guys at my handgun range more steamed that guys showing up in camo talking about thier "weapon". Ranks right up there with people showing up to gunshows in fatigues. These organizations have worked hard to come across as respectable, level headed, honest people. If one of the groups they are lobbying took one look at an airsoft game all the work they have done for years would go right out the window. We are a detriment to them. No amount of added revenue or added members would be worth the risk for them.
